~SCARLETT~

It was official; my sister had utterly lost her mind. That’s the only explanation for the tiny piece of cloth she chose for me to wear at the party tonight.

She must really hate me. Carter wasn’t the one she was taking revenge on at this point; it was me!

“You look stunning!” She compliments me while I look at her like she is my greatest enemy.

“I’m barely covering anything!” I exclaim as I stare at myself in the mirror. It’s a navy blue two-piece that showed too much skin. I was completely uncomfortable wearing this in front of hundreds of people I didn’t even like.

“I want a wrap to go with this,” I complain.

Clara sighs, “You’re not going to catch Carter’s attention with a wrap around your body.”

I didn’t care about that; I cared about hiding my body from all the creeps that would be staring at me for all of the wrong reasons!

“I don’t understand how you’re so okay with your ex-boyfriend eyeing your sister. This still feels so wrong to me. Are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” I ask her. “How can you be okay with Carter staring at me like I was his next victim? I am sure as hell not okay with it. How can you be?”

I thought by now she would change her mind about the entire thing, but I was being proven wrong. My sister seemed more determined than ever to get back at Carter by making him fall in love with me.

She would do every damn thing possible to make him pay for what he did to her, and while I was so happy to be a part of it, I didn’t want to do it this way.

I bite my lip. I didn’t want to

man you thought loved you was sleeping around with multiple girls all along? He destroyed all of the dreams I had for the both of us. I thought we would start a family together and even grow old together. Everything was destroyed in a few minutes. He didn’t try to fight for me, and not once did he apologize to me. I know that I’m asking plenty of you, but I can’t think of anyone else that I trust enough to do this for me. Anyone else would fall the moment Carter turned on his charm. With you, I know that no matter what he does, you will keep a clear head. I know that you would end things the moment that he falls for you. I trust you, Scarlett; it’s the only reason I’m asking you to do this for me. You’re the only person I trust this much. I

knew she was crazy over him, but I never expected her to be so completely broken over their breakup. I thought she would have eventually found a way to pick herself up like she usually did. He was so wrong for breaking her

love with him? All the girls at the academy were in love with him, while I disliked him so much. There was no way that I would let his charms get to me. I was immune to his flirtatious

No matter how good-looking he was. He was too good-looking for his rotten personality. It was a waste of such handsome
